These instructions apply to official NCEAS business only.

Campus Mail System

There are two 'outgoing mail' boxes in the front office: on-campus departments and off-campus mail. For large off-campus packages, use a blue and white UCSB address label and write our mailcode (004943) next to the return address.

Sending International Mail

Postal regulations require CUSTOMS DECLARATIONS on ALL international mail weighing 15 oz. or more (a postal scale is in the front office) next to outgoing mailboxes.

For urgent mail, NCEAS contracts with Federal Express. Please ask staff in Room 300 for pertinent forms and instructions. The pickup location in this building is on the sixth floor (at the top of the stairwell).

A US Mail box is located in the main entrance of this building (by the main entry doors behind the plants). Pick up time is approximately 10 am; please check for changes.

The main Santa Barbara Post Office is on 836 Anancapa Street (at the corner of Anacapa and Canon Perdido Streets). Just a couple blocks from NCEAS, it is an art-deco structure with a large flagpole in front.
